Where you are standing videotaping this is the exact spot where Adrian Hall (Jeremy Potts) and Heather Ripley (Jemima Potts) ran in front of the CUB-1, driven by Sally Ann Howes (Truly Scrumptious).
As you panned around to the left, that is the place where the CUB-1 went into the pond. And where Mr. Dick Van Dyke struggled after a few takes to get Sally out of the mucky thing. The brick corner wall and the Lines pole gives it away.
I always thought it was a pond at Hambleden until a geocacher pointed out I'd placed a cache near the pond used for Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, and they were quite right! Thanks for sharing :)
Thanks for the video clip it brings good memories back.

I sometimes cycle here in the summer and it is such a peaceful spot! Will visit the pub one day too...

There used to be the sign there for the Bee Hive Public house which has now closed down. That's what gave it away when I saw the location in 1995.
